Any idea on the cross numbers with NAPA parts?

No, but it's easy to tell by checking the diameter of the part that sticks out of the MC and goes into the booster with the old and new ones. 1/4" is easily visible when you put them end to end.

BTW - I had a sticking front left caliper. I changed it out and the problem came back. I had driven it over 70 miles and it worked good after putting the correct MC on, but now the problem is back. Having the wrong MC was a big problem, but I think the first problem is the ABS valve being bad. Where's the best (cheapest) place to get a replacement? I don't want to bypass it.

It's too badly rusted but Autozone shows the part 12-2060 for $185. I found the same year f150 has the same part number. I suspect its fairly generic for Ford trucks.

I found it's on any fullsize 95-95 Ford truck.

I replaced mine today and it did not help any.

I am thinking the pin from the booster to the MC may need to be adjusted longer. At this point the brake pedal goes about half way with light pressure and will stop the truck. Press harder and it slowly goes almost to the floor, but stops just before it does.

When I press the pedal I hear the booster hiss. Is this normal?
